Dave Winer's OSCOM Keynote
Aaron Swartz,
Jun 05, 2003
Absolutely fascinating running commentary of Dave Winer's keynote address last week at the OSCOM conference. It's an IRC chat transcript, so you may have to work a bit to isolate the threads and decipher the geek shorthand. Winer's talk was highlighted by a clash with Syndic8's Bill Kearney that included allusions to dictatorships and allegations of death wishes. The commentator, Aaron Swartz (AaronSw) is himself a major player in the RSS environment, and he is joined in the chat by Morbus Iff, the creator of Amphetadesk. All of these people have been involved in RSS since the very beginning, have been major players in its creation and development, and as they quite rightly point out, have at least as much of a say in its future development as Dave Winer.
